Hanky Panky

Whenever I find vintage hankies I always immediately pass over the printed ones looking for fancy edges and embroidery. Carolyn (from Texas) has changed all that.. She uses those printed hankies along with others to make a "hanky panky" which is simply gorgeous. She picks focal colors and begins layering hankies and then embellishing with fancy trims and stitching...

I would love to get a picture of one that is finished to share with you.... Maybe her daughter, Theresa, would send me one pleaseeeeeeeeee!!!! I could find nothing comparable on the internet but did find this interesting site on hanky history.... http://www.fabrics.net/joan503.asp Also I really enjoyed hearing about the plans for a big Polish celebration for Carolyn's upcoming 50th anniversary....
